Profile |
|||||||||||||
| Although only in his late thirties,
Oliver has gained vast experience performing at nearly 5,000 private and
public events. His feather-like touch on the keyboard and soulful voice,
are a trademark of his art and has entertained and been admired by thousands
over the years. A vast repertoire includes the music of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, right through the spectrum to more contemporary artists such as Billy Joel, Elton John and Stevie Wonder. Oliver's ability to work an audience is magical, his colossal musical gift and friendly personality, coupled with an uncanny knack of knowing instinctively what people want to hear (even before they do, sometimes!), ensures that wherever he plays the party always goes with a swing. His voice (with it's three octave range) has been likened to Chet Baker and Billy Joel but with a style that is uniquely his own. As one New York music fan put it "He out-Manilows Manilow!" Oliver creates all his own arrangements that are instantly recognisable for their pianistic dexterity as well as their vocal individualism. A great addition to any event requiring a versatile and dynamic performer, whether you're looking for sublime dinner jazz, cocktail music or a unique wedding experience, Oliver provides superb entertainment both with or without vocals. First class entertainment, delivered with personality and panache!! Special arrangements can be accomodated if requested. Please advise at the time of your booking. A typical performance is for up to 2 hours. Please advise whether you require vocals for your event |
